Oh dear.........,

Did anyone else hear the rant from a certain commentator berating the rule that connections are required to advise stewards and the betting public of a change in riding tactics?
He stated:..."why should they have to tell anyone....!" In his opinion if the stewards believe it was not ridden correctly they can take appropriate action.
Well, mate we punters live in the real world!
In this particular race the horse in question was ridden contrary to advertised tactics and duly saluted but the public were advised it was to be ridden in a completely different manner!
Yes, there should be a inquiry when such instances occur because the very people who pay your "fat" salary are those people/punters who should be protected from potentially dubious/suspect activities.
Now. go back to "Planet Zergon" or whatever planet you are living on because you definitely do not reside in the "real world!"

Cheers.
